    desc: >
      Request for the first step of Authorization key derivation process.
      This method is deprecated, use {@link tl.mtproto.RawReqPqMultiRequest} instead.
      The difference is that when using this, only one server key is returned, while
      `req_pq_multi` will return multiple.
    arguments:
      nonce: Randomly generated number (32-bit) that will be used in the later steps
  o_mt_reqPqMulti:
    desc: >
      Request for the first step of Authorization key derivation process.
    arguments:
      nonce: Randomly generated number that will be used in the later steps
  o_mt_resPQ:
    desc: Response for the first step of Authorization key derivation process
    arguments:
      nonce: Client nonce that was generated earlier
      serverNonce: Random number generated by the server, used in the later steps
      pq: >
        Big endian representation of a natural number, which is a product
        of two different odd prime numbers. Normally, this value is `<= 2^63-1`.
        Client is expected to decompose this product to `p` and `q`.
      serverPublicKeyFingerprints: |
        List of public RSA key fingerprints, which are computed as follows:
         - First, the modulus and the exponent are extracted from the key
         - Then, the following TL type is written: `rsa_public_key n:string e:string = RSAPublicKey`
           - This is a bare type, meaning there's no 4-byte type number before it
           - `n` is the modulus, `e` is the exponent, encoded as big-endian
         - Finally, SHA1 is computed, and its last 8 bytes are taken and parsed as LE long
           (i.e. `parse_int64_le(sha1(rsa_public_key).slice(-8))`)

        Client is expected to choose out of those keys any single one that it has
        embedded in itself and return one of them in the following request.

      (where the RPC query itself was still fully processed); in this case,
      the same rpc_answer_dropped_running is also returned in response to
      the original query, and both of these responses require
      an acknowledgment from the client.
  o_mt_rpc_answer_dropped:
    desc: The RPC response was removed from the server’s outgoing queue
    arguments:
      msgId: Message ID of the RPC response

      Works like ping. In addition, after this is received,
      the server starts a timer which will close the current connection
      `disconnectDelay` seconds later unless it receives a new message
      of the same type which automatically resets all previous timers.

      If the client sends these pings once every 60 seconds, for example,
      it may set `disconnect_delay` equal to 75 seconds.
    arguments:
      pingId: Random ping ID
      disconnectDelay: Disconnect delay in seconds
  o_mt_destroy_session:
    desc: >
      Used by the client to notify the server that it may forget the
      data from a different session belonging to the same user

  o_mt_destroy_session_ok:
    desc: Session was succesfully destroyed
    arguments:

  o_mt_new_session_created:
    desc: >
      The server notifies the client that a new session (from the server’s standpoint)

      a message with an even smaller `msg_id` within the same session, a similar
      notification will be generated for this `msg_id` as well.
      No such notifications are generated for high msg_id values.

      This notification must be acknowledged by the client. It is necessary, for instance,
      for the client to understand that there is, in fact, a “gap” in the stream of notifications
      received from the server (the user may have failed to receive
      notifications during some period of time).

      Client should also resend all the messages that were sent before `firstMsgId`
    arguments:
      firstMsgId: First message ID that is known by the server to be from this session.
      uniqueId: Random number generated by the server every time a session is (re-)created

      of an RPC response (i.e., as result in `rpc_result`)
      and generated by the server for a limited number
      of high-level queries. In addition, in the future
      it may be used to transmit non-service messages
      (i. e. RPC queries) from client to server.
    arguments:
      packedData: Gzipped contents of the message
  o_mt_msgs_ack:
    desc: >
      Receipt of virtually all messages (with the exception of some purely
      service ones as well as the plain-text messages used in the protocol
      for creating an authorization key) must be acknowledged.

      This requires the use of the this service message (not requiring an acknowledgment itself)

      A server usually acknowledges the receipt of a message
      from a client (normally, an RPC query) using an RPC response.
      If a response is a long time coming, a server may first send a
      receipt acknowledgment, and somewhat later, the RPC response itself.

      A client normally acknowledges the receipt of a message
      from a server (usually, an RPC response) by adding an acknowledgment
      to the next RPC query if it is not transmitted too late (if it is
      generated, say, 60-120 seconds following the receipt of a message
      from the server). However, if for a long period of time there is no
      reason to send messages to the server or if there is a large number of
      unacknowledged messages from the server (say, over 16),
      the client transmits a stand-alone acknowledgment.
    arguments:
      msgIds: IDs of messages to be acknowledged. Maximum 8192 IDs.
  o_mt_bad_msg_notification:
    desc: Used by the server to notify client that the sent message was incorrect.
    arguments:
      badMsgId: ID of the "bad" message
      badMsgSeqno: Seq No of the "bad" message
      errorCode: |
        Error code. Known values:
         - `16`: Message ID was too small. Most likely, client time is wrong, it would be
           worthwhile to synchronize it using notification's message ID and re-send the
           original message with the "correct" message ID or wrap it in a container
           with a new message ID if the original message had waited too
           long on the client to be transmitted.
         - `17`: Message ID was too big. Similar to the previous case,
           the client time has to be synchronized, and the message re-sent
         - `18`: Incorrect two lower order msg_id bits. The server expects client
           message ID to be divisible by 4.
         - `19`: Container message ID is the same as the message ID of the previous message
         - `20`: Message is too old, and it cannot be verified whether the server
           has received a message with this ID or not
         - `32`: Message seq No was too small (the server has already received a message
           with a higher or same seq No)
         - `33`: Message seq No was too big (the server has already received a message
           with a lower or same seq No)
         - `34`: An even seq No expected (not content-relevant), but odd received
         - `35`: An odd seq No expected (content-relevant), but even received
         - `48`: Incorrect server salt was used. In practice, `mt_bad_server_salt` is used instead.
         - `64`: Incorrect container
  o_mt_bad_server_salt:
    desc: Used by the server to notify client that the sent message was incorrect.
    arguments:
      badMsgId: ID of the "bad" message
      badMsgSeqno: Seq No of the "bad" message

  o_mt_msg_resend_req:
    desc: |
      Explicit Request to Re-Send Messages

      The remote party immediately responds by re-sending
      the requested messages, normally using the same connection
      that was used to transmit the query. If at least one message
      with requested ID does not exist or has already been forgotten,
      or has been sent by the requesting party (known from parity),
      `MsgsStateInfo` is returned for all messages requested as if the
      `MsgResendReq` query had been a `MsgsStateReq` query as well.

      Cancellation of an RPC query.
      In certain situations, the client does not want to receive a
      response to an already transmitted RPC query, for example because
      the response turns out to be long and the client has decided to do
      without it because of insufficient link capacity. Simply interrupting
      the connection will not have any effect because the server would re-send
      the missing response at the first opportunity. Therefore, the client needs
      a way to cancel receipt of the RPC response message, actually acknowledging
      its receipt prior to it being in fact received, which will settle the server
      down and prevent it from re-sending the response. However, the client does
      not know the RPC response's message ID prior to receiving the response;
      the only thing it knows is the requesting message ID, i.e. the message ID
      of the relevant RPC query. Therefore, this special query is used
    arguments:
      reqMsgId: ID of a message containing an RPC query to be cancelled
